AKRON, Ohio, Aug 7 (Reuters) - A breakthrough victory at this year's Memorial Tournament cemented David Lingmerth's belief that he was "good enough" to compete at an elite level and the Swede now has his sights set on next year's Ryder Cup.
Lingmerth has climbed to a career-high 59 in the world rankings after a successful PGA Tour season highlighted by three top-10s in 23 starts and he would dearly love to represent Europe for the first time at Hazeltine National in late 2016.
"It's absolutely on my radar," the 28-year-old from Tranas told Reuters after carding an even-par 70 in the opening round of this week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.
